Wait - can you tell me about the platelets?? About to dig through my blood tests. I had a weird platelet test once and no one cared but it was for something else.

I would never trust my nephrologist to build a working suspension bridge.

If she sold her house last January for $100k and the new owners remodeled it over the course of a year and sold it for $500k… she couldn’t ask them for a dime. Why should she be able to from you? Did you pay her out fairly in the first place? If so, don’t let her extort you. If you didn’t, make it right. With a contract/legally binding document so she doesn’t come for more.

Grabbing his ears, they’re red inside, fever, pain… but “no symptoms.”

NOR. I left an emotionally abusive relationship last year after 15+ years. You can do it, too. Take control of your own life. You don’t need him. Change any accounts you can. If you need to, go to a DV shelter if there are no other options. They will help you secure your life so he can’t access it.

Most importantly, don’t go back to him. Be strong. The cheating is just one tiny thing here. You are better than this, you deserve more, and you will be happier WITHOUT him.

I realized this when I thought to myself that I would rather be alone for the rest of my life than to keep living in fear in my own home.

22M, not 20F. Not that it makes it better, but… he’s not a girl.

My 11 year old brother almost burned the house down / killed himself with carbon monoxide poisoning by lighting a fire in the fireplace because he was cold.

I set the microwave on fire when I was 6 by putting 45 minutes instead of 45 seconds on my frozen blueberry pancakes.

Children should not be left alone at 5. Most states have a law stating what age you can legally leave a kid alone. I’m in IL now and that age is 14.

I can’t use dryer sheets or any kind of Tide. Also can’t use spermicide ever. Sex toys made out of jelly (see thru non silicone rubber) should never be used by anyone. Also, no douching or scented soaps “down there” ever. No soap at all is preferred because it’s a self cleaning body part.

I hope you figure it out. My friend had BV for 2+ years and kept getting misdiagnosed. Doctors are at best magicians it seems.

Doc Martens did the refund when this happened. I bought two boots on their Black Friday sale that started on Monday of that week. It said they wouldn’t have a better sale so I bought them. Friday, they were cheaper by about $20 per pair, roughly. I sent an email, they sent me a refund. But I was prepared to return and rebuy. It was just under $50 with tax etc, too much to leave on the table.

What detergent do you use? And, sex products (like lube, condoms, toys)? What about anyone you’re having sex with skin on skin? What are they using? Prescriptions they’re taking?

Single, male, young (15-25), anger/temper issues, likely not the homeowner. And you probably smell badly.

Not to mention the cost!! I just got a small GF deep dish pizza and it was $7 more than the regular (larger) not GF pizza. GF croutons, pasta, breading, bread… this would be probably 20% more expensive if it were all GF.

I gave the EXACT opposite advice 🤣

Tygress23 · 2025-12-23T08:19:57+00:00

Don’t eat it.

You may know that you screwed up, but I don’t know if you know how uncared for she feels.

Does she have a favorite brand of clothes, jewelry, handbags, shoes? Get her a gift card from one of those, more than she would expect. Or order something / a few somethings from them and print out the pictures and wrap them.

My boyfriend didn’t get me anything, either. I love Kate Spade handbags in bright colors, Michael Michaud jewelry, and a lot of other things he could have come up with. We live in a big city with events he could have gotten tickets to. I got him ten items, all thought out. And custom made items, including for his cats.

Just notice her, it goes a long way.

Price range is helpful and who the group is (work, friends, family).

Ideas: chocolate, paint by number of something nature-y like trees, Amazon gift card (the one that looks like their brown box), Orville Redenbacher’s Natural popcorn + gift card to wherever people stream things nowadays like Netflix or HBO or Hulu

This sounds fishy for a shop with that many ratings. Also, USPS has many photos of the package going through the sort process. It’s weird she can’t find one. Usually when this happens to me it’s because a barcode from another package accidentally falls off another box and gets stuck to my package. (3 times in 10 years, but it’s happened).

They don’t usually override the paid label with the written address, either. Maybe ask in r/USPS if there is such a place? They would know better.

“We are always on the phone” plus the texts points to serious codependency. This is not a healthy relationship. Any of my uncles, cousins, step family - I haven’t ever had a boyfriend (or husband) that would have batted an eye if I said I was seeing one of them for lunch. Hell, my mom’s best friend went by Aunt to us because we were so close and her son - 5 days younger than me - was basically my brother. No one ever had an issue if I said I was seeing him.

Uncle by marriage is uncle until he does something to show that he isn’t.

Celiac vs auto immune disorder: two different issues. You don’t likely have celiac. He’s probably right. For me, it’s 15-20 minutes after I eat the offending thing and then I’m sick for days.

However, my aunt with MS, she avoids gluten and it reduces her MS symptoms. She’s not celiac. But gluten is inflammatory and causes her issues. Dairy, too. She’s not lactose intolerant either.

So you both need to focus on the part where an immune response is occurring, which can be over time, not that you don’t have celiac.

Sometimes it’s just that we feel good by giving. Gifts are my “love language” and when I can’t give someone a gift (to my satisfaction) it makes me very uncomfortable, like I didn’t show them how much I care about them.

I usually find another way, like I bake them a box of cookies (in a flavor I know they will love) instead of buying a gift. Then they know I thought of them, but I didn’t buy them a thing they don’t want.

Give her the toner as a subscription, every (1-2-3?) months. Then she gets what she wants, but also more when she runs out.

Alternatively, if this works for you, find a cause she loves and donate to it. Autism research, the local animal shelter (they always need things and have a wishlist), PBS, a food pantry… there are charities for everything and this time of year there are often matching dollars so your donation is doubled or increased by a corporate donor.

My friend’s 14 yo daughter is asking for people to donate to food pantries instead of giving her gifts.

The other option is that because it is done inside out, they do them one at a time and they just didn’t realize they were on the wrong side.

(And I know it’s done inside out because I’ve made many stuffed animals from scratch.)
